You never liked this place where we'd
been living all along
So, you packed up your things and
bought a one-way ticket home
Leaving never hurt as much as
being left behind

Chorus:
I would change my life
I would make it right
I would change my life
If you would only change your mind

I have spent my hours on some
misbegotten dream
I have spent my money on some
foolish hearted things
I have spent my memories on old
embittered wine

(Repeat chorus)

I wish that I could find the words
to make you come back home
I wish that I could say the things you
needed for so long
I wish that you could see me
now... maybe then you'd find

(Repeat chorus)
